On the morning of the 11th a Blue Tit with a ring on it's right leg was at the feeders. The last Blue Tit to be ringed in the garden was back in November 2013, so presuming it was one of those, it would make it at least five years of age. Also feeding was a female Bullfinch, followed on the 13th by a male & two females. In past winters they have very rarely taken the sunflower hearts, preferring instead to feed on the seeds of Lemon Balm & Marjoram plants nearby. Hopefully this is a trend that will continue.
